- Hi! I’m traveling right now so i’m not able to go through and list the products but that is my plan once i have a minute. Orrr you guys could make a note in the mean-time ;)

- Maybe some time.. our wedding was small and private so thats sort of how we like to keep it. Perhaps i’ll share more one day.

- First of all: there are. Secondly: because this is mostly a beauty/fitness blog. Thirdly: he’s a man’s man.. hes not into taking photos with me every other minute like my girlfriends are.

- Theres no reason for me to have an opinion on it, i’d never get it and neither would anyone in my family. If you’re happy with it then thats all that matters!

- I’m 5’5” and wear a 2 (regular length), the best jeans are from American Eagle :)

- I’m not sure if this is a trick question or you’re expecting some fruit-eating secret but here goes: 1) Eat different fruits until you find one you like or 2) Buck up and just eat it, its good for you.

- I’m guessing you’re either having a reaction to the foundation, buying the wrong shade or its all in your head. Try a different brand and go for more yellow tones. Tarte amazonian clay foundation is nice!

- I get to share my finds with my friends, take advantage of affiliate programs, hear other people’s stories and sometimes even help them. I wouldn’t say i “share my personal life” unless its something i think could help someone else. 

My husband and I designed it.

- I would just shrug and move on to be honest. Save your energy for the gym.

- Hello! Thank you :) Yes i love my nutribullet, i use it a lot and not just for smoothies. I use it to make protein pancake mixes, small batches of soup, sauces.. anything you would use a blender for you can use this and its so much easier to clean! Its also nice for juices and smoothies when you want the fibre left in since a juicer eliminates most of that.

- A breville!

- I lift weights 5x a week, one area a day. It varies but i just like weights in general. Lots of ideas in the fitness section! 

- I did once but didn’t like the taste. To me theres nothing better than vega for a wholefood, vegan, non-soy protein.

- I literally have no idea, i don’t think i’d let my makeup dictate when i went to the gym :/ Just go when you want to, you said it sucks either way so just don’t worry about it.

- No, I lost 20lb- that’s really not that much. If anything i’d think your tattoos would be more likely to change if you gained weight :/

I get lots of messages on here asking for nutritional advice or fitness stuff and i just want to make clear that all i know is that i’ve taught myself from researching online.

I can’t give you an answer as to if you eat this/ don’t eat that if you’ll lose weight, i can’t tell you whether your ass/boobs/thighs will shrink if you do x/y/z exercise, i can’t tell you if eating a certain thing will make you fat… i don’t know your situation, i’m not a doctor and i’m not a nutritionist.

All you can do is do your research and try it out… thats how i figured stuff out- trial and error.

I can tell you that lifting weights isn’t going to “make you bulky”, diet pills aren’t the answer and what works for one person might not work for another.

I’m not trying to deter you from messaging me cause i love talking to people on here with similar lifestyles and learning from each other but i don’t have the answers for you… you need to forge your own path.

Stop wasting time asking people for the answers/easy way out and get out there and try it! 

I figured i’d answer some questions on my blog for a change in case anyone else is interested in the answers :)

- I think i may have had some korres samples in the past but nothing memorable that blew me away :/ Anyone else?

- Daily? Other than protein shakes, no. If you’re careful about your diet, you don’t need to.

Last year had some pretty stressful times for me and i definitely wasn’t eating enough so my ferritin levels were pretty low, this is a good indicator for low iron stores so i have been taking iron supplements and black strap molasses to try and boost that back up and i’ll get retested in a month or so.

Currently i also take a probiotic after a bout of strong antibiotics followed by norovirus, my gut could use a little help!

If i’m feeling low or have to go on long flights i might take some immune boosting supplements but like i said, day to day i deal with it dietarily :)

- I just used a normal brush but wiped off a lot of the excess, it would’ve been easier with a smaller, rounded brush but this works fine if you’re careful!

- I just bought mine on amazon. I use OPI absolute range and have some no-name brand color supplements and glitters i found on there super cheap :)

- I have used Vega sport performance protein for a long time now. You can read my posts about it here or here. The less processed a protein is, the easier it is for your body to use so stay away from protein powders called “isolates”…. they are so far from their natural form your body has a hard time processing it.

- Hi! For bridal makeup you want to find someone who (obviously) produces good work and listens to what the client wants. Look up their portfolios online or ask them for references. You also want to make sure their makeup LASTS so once you find someone you like, do a trial run to see how it holds up! Most brides want airbrush makeup because of the coverage, how long it lasts and how light it feels. Generally silicone based foundations will last longer.

- I use Tarte lights camera splashes, its their waterproof formula :)

I get so many messages asking me what my favorite makeup brushes are or what the best value for money brushes are so here you go!

Its Sigma (i am eternally in Krystyn’s debt for her telling me about them).

They have full kits, individual brushes, vegan brushes, brush care, bags, mirrors and more…

Here are my top picks.

For the new professional i really recommend investing in one of their complete kits. My wedding season this summer was pretty busy and i’d be spot cleaning and washing brushes multiple times a week and my kit is still going strong (i think i’ve had them 3 years now so it isn’t quite the same as this kit but pretty close).

Something like their Premium Kit is perfect to start with and you can add to it as you go. For jobs like bridal makeup trials this is really all you’d need (brush-wise that is- besides sponges etc) to produce a flawless application.

- 5’5”
- Maybe. I’ll have to try. My butt probably sticks out a lot though.
- Links to all MY social media pages on my tumblr homepage. Little buttons :)

- I don’t. I try and get everything i need from what i eat but its not a bad idea if you don’t feel you can do that. Occasionally i supplement my protein shakes with Vega one which is a vegan nutritional powder that has lots of goodies in.

- Who knows..

A couple of you have asked lately so here ya go-

Instagram- wifelife
Twitter- rhian_hy

Thank you guys for all the lovely messages about my progress photos.

For the people messaging me to help them lose weight or tell them what to do-
Literally all the info I have is in my healthy eating or fitness tabs on my tumblr page. Most of it you could just look back a few pages to find too.

I’ve got no secrets to lose weight and what worked for me might not work for you.

Sorry I can’t reply to all the messages but it really is all already on here and I am in no way trained or qualified in any area of health or fitness.

I got a trainer and googled everything else I needed to know.

I think 15?

:)

I’ve had equal parts random/annoyed messages lately.

People asking me to diagnose ailments/tell them personal things and people asking why i post responses to weird questions.

All i can say is that if people logged in, i would answer them privately and there are literally hundreds of weird/inappropriate messages that i delete. 

I’m going through and deleting a lot of messages today so if i missed your question and you still want it answered, ask it again but LOG IN!!

xo

Just a note to say i really do like looking through all the messages you send but please don’t get shitty with me if i can’t reply to it right away.

This is just my blog, i post things i like and sometimes answer questions that i find interesting/relevant to my life. Its not a paid service that you need to get mad about if i don’t have an answer for you, try google, its free!

Some questions i don’t reply to because they are rude/offensive/none of your business/just plain weird.

Like i said i do love looking through the messages and if you are logged in i will ALWAYS respond privately if its not something i want cluttering up my blog with or its too personal.

I’ve been getting tattooed since i was 17 so i’ve not got much to compare it to. Plus i only really get hit on by weird old men or more recently grabby hockey players.

I find people are more likely to make random conversation with me when my tattoos are more visible, maybe because its a good conversation starter but it also becomes pretty repetitive. 

Thank you :)

- Aw thanks anon :)

- I do not own a pair of white jeans and i don’t think i ever would since i am messy and accident prone. Look up stores online that sell white jeans and see what they pair it with in the photos. I’d probably wear a tight top since white usually makes you look bigger, at least a tight top will show your real size :)

- I have an English accent but certain words might sound a bit American.

- Maybe you are trying too many products at once. I would see a dermatologist if you can. I think DDF products are good for problem skin, see if you can get a sample kit online or in a sephora store.
